The Official #17 Tennessee vs. Virginia Tech Game Thread, 8:00 pm ET (9/10/16), ABC

[Exiled]

Well that was an embarrassing quarter. Kamara with 0 touches I believe.

Hard to spread touches when you only have 10 plays the entire quarter.

 

[advancedrescue27]

Once more Butch Jones makes Tennessee a national embarrassment.

And after the game you will see the fans posting saying we are over reacting and he's our savior. Saying same about Dobbs also, out of fear of the unknown.

 

[Mwallen17]

I'm just glad I quit letting TN football dictate my happiness. Best move I've ever made.

Any advice on how to make that happen?

 

[Christian Lowe]

Remember when we said we'd rather get blown out than lose games the way we did last year?

Well, Butch delivered!

 

[ArmyVol697]

I'm wishing weed was legal in Tennessee for medical reasons, because I have an acute case of depression.

 

[VonVol]

Embarrassing. Plain and simple.

 

[MiddleTnVol]

Oh Butch...

 

[hatingbamaisawayoflife]

One of the worst quarters I remember

 

[dduncan4163]

I'm so glad I decided not to drink tonight

 

[BruiserVol]

And just think, we got all that 3* talent coming in to help

Hell, Butch cant win with 5* talent

I have just come to the realization that we stuck it out for 4 years waiting for butch to give him benefit of the doubt. And we were all correct. Now the coaching will start all over with another and we will be in the shi**er for the next few years again. Idk if I'll ever see us back where we used to be.

At halftime


ESPN Reporter: "Coach Jones, your team has looked flat an uninspired in the first half, what can you do to make sure that doesn't happen in the 2nd half"?


Butch Jones: Resiliency. Bricks. Legacy. Recruiting. Class 190.


ESPN Reporter: Absolutely amazing Coach. Inspiring words!

 

[YankeeVol]

Just saying, Butch is only 1 letter off from b****.

 

[BJWeeks]

What's the difference between the two? Poor in game coaching always. Yay Vols went 9-4 last year but didn't beat anyone that mattered. Bout to get blown out on National TV with a less talented team. Vols have NFL talent and are playing absolutely pathetic.

 

[Forever151]

Thank god someone made a ****ing play

 

[tumscalcium]

Oh. My god.

 

[HoptownVol]

Alright by god!

 

[Voldemonium]

We are holding back for Ohio.

And when we win that game we will extend Lyle.

Ohio beat Kansas today. They'll give team 120 all they can handle.

 

[EastTN]

Everyone stop *****ing. It's still very very early. What kind of fans are some of you?

Are you watching the same game we are?

 

[T-for-Tennessee]

Fortuitous.

 

[saxvol]

Hopefully this will light a spark under their ass's

 

[AllVols]

God we needed that

 

[Paper_Towel]

Score when the breaks go your way!

 

[BigOrangeD]

I hate to say it but I'm almost numb to it now.

Me too.

 

[Volintheswamp]

I think I'm having a 1999 flashback. Tons of talent, they just don't know how to use it. Defense has more holes than Swiss cheese, but drips and oozes like Velveeta. Offensive line can't give the bully VT defense their lunch money fast enough. Dobbs is thinking too much. He needs to rely more on instinct or needs to be put on the bench to think about what he's not doing right. It might be time for QD.

 

[DeepSpringsVol]

Well I ask what we need and there it is? Lol
